Mark Tremonti: 10 Brutally Heavy Riffs You Need To Hear

9. Bullets

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fHvTWwnw9xs It's far to easy to forget just how spectacular the songwriting skills behind Creed's media persona where when everyone was lambasting frontman Scott Stapp, but it remains (especially on reflection) they had one hell of a discography with some really pugnacious riffs tucked away inside. One such rager was Bullets, a very fast-sounding lick that essentially forms the basis for Alter Bridge's White Knuckles. Stapp's yell of "I think they shoot 'cause they want me!" is the perfect line for the band to kick in and fire away underneath. Despite the lighter more balletic musical spectrum Creed tend to get associated with, this gives any more traditional metalhead a run for their money.
